Nokia Lumia 630 - the first smartphone on Windows with two SIM cards

The Nokia 600 series of smartphones has always positioned itself as a middle-class device. These devices appeared on the market in 2013, and the minimum price started from 10 thousand rubles. By 2014, Android devices are making a global leap that throws the entire six hundredth series back. The manufacturer is forced to reduce the cost and presents it as a 20-30% discount, while the phones again fall into the middle segment. Nokia Lumia 630 is a device that was supposed to fool a gullible buyer. This approach did not have much success, and the review of the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual Sim will tell you why.

Specifications

The first point, which is a trick of the company - the characteristics of Nokia Lumiya 630. The manufacturer says that the device will cope with all the tasks of the user, and does not lie. but the hardware in the device is weak, and supposedly good performance is explained by the features of Windows Phone, which simply do not allow you to seriously load the device.

Nokia Lumia 630 Dual Sim is an extremely weak device by the standards of Android models. There is a weak processor, very little RAM, no LTE support, one camera, a weak battery. The price of the smartphone was 8 thousand rubles. One attempt to fool a user is to sell. additional socket. In the configuration to the phone, the user will find the second cover, and many of this will surely be delighted. It is worth recalling that the phone was sold in 2014, and that was the time when even low-cost smartphones included headphones, separate power, film. The trick is that Lumia 630 doesn’t have it all. In addition to the phone, battery and indivisible charger there is a cover. But the headphones and the film were left behind.

Design

What are phones from Nokia? Plastic covers that are easily put on the case. Bright colors, in this case there are four - black, white, orange and green. Additional cover dark color, matte. Plastic feels not the most expensive, but you can't call it cheap either. In older models, it is nicer. The size of the smartphone makes it comfortable for the hand.

The appearance of Nokia Lumiya 630 dual sim is not the most interesting. Rounded edges, no decorations and something extra. If the devices that came out earlier looked fresh due to this, then by 630 models such a design has become boring. The layout of the controls also offers nothing new.

1. The upper end has a headset jack, a lower charge jack.
2. On the right side of the combined volume and power rocker.
3. Above the front panel speaker, no light sensor is not here, as there is no front camera.
4. On the back side is a camera without flash. The cover on the phone is removable, as is the battery. Under them is a slot for one or two SIM cards.

On a note! This is the first device with support for two SIM cards on this operating system, which is not very relevant for Windows Phone. Why - will be discussed below.

Screen

Phone Nokia Lumiya 630 has an IPS matrix with a resolution of 854 * 480 pixels.The picture is rather mediocre, and the phone feels like a low-end device (recall, the company says that the Lumia 630 is the middle segment). The IPS matrix with its large viewing angles saves a little, as well as a special layer that improves visibility in bright sunlight. The color of the phone rolls to yellow, and if it is not very noticeable in the menu, then when you view the pictures in the eye strongly.

The second unpleasant moment - lack of automatic brightness control, and even manual here is implemented crookedly. There are only three levels of illumination: low, medium, high. In fact, to achieve optimal brightness is unrealistic. The manufacturer gave three options - use. If you highlight the main thing, then the smartphone Nokia Lumia 630 is cheap and unpleasant to the eye matrix. The only positive point - Gorilla Glass 3, that is, the screen is quite difficult to scratch.

Battery

Nokia Lumia 630 has a removable 1830 mAh battery. What does this figure mean for an Android device - nothing. The reason is that devices on Android, among other things, allow you to play games, and on the Internet, their users sit more often and longer.Windows Phone does not provide such opportunities, devices on this system are intended mainly for calls and SMS.

Important! The manufacturer promises that the phone will withstand about 16 hours of calls, will let you enjoy musical compositions for 58 hours, videos for offline 7 hours. In fairness it should be noted that the numbers are real, and the phone justifies them. That's just when you connect wireless interfaces, Wi-Fi or GPS battery quickly sits down.

Conclusion: Lumia 630 is designed for those who do not plan to surf the Internet. And this is for 8 thousand rubles.

Job

The device’s RAM is 512 MB, which is enough for Windows, but not enough for a 2014 device. However, you should not find faultthe device does not slow down and this is good. The processor - four cores of 1.2 gigahertz. Everything works quickly, but again, there is really nothing to load the device. Memory - available 5 of 8 gigabytes. This is not enough, but the manufacturer makes it possible to put 128 gigabytes on microSD, and it would seem that this is very good, but here lies another deception. The RAM and the processor hardly cope with 64 gigabyte cards, and 128 gigabytes is absolutely scary for them. The second point - there is cloud storage for 7 gigabytes, but remember,that the phone sits down while working with the Internet and we understand that in fact it’s really possible to use this communication only if you have charging and sockets on hand.

Another thing that seems to be the dignity of the phone, but in fact does not have any particular benefit - support of two sim cards. If you think about why it is needed at all, then one SIM card is usually used to work on the Internet, since not every connection in 2014 offered favorable rates, and the second one is used for calls and SMS. Windows Phone is not the phone that is bought for surfing, which means that the second card is not very necessary. But let's assume that the user uses two sim as a working and personal option. The manufacturer claims to have created a technology that makes it possible to use both at the same time.

On a note! These are not two network modules that actually assume two active sims. The essence of this technology is that the user learns about the call on the second SIM card, but will not be able to switch to it without disconnecting the first conversation.

This is certainly better than a sms with the message that someone called, but it is impossible to call such a work the full use of two SIM cards.Nokia talk about the uniqueness of its development, but Samsung has a similar technology, it was simply called differently.

Camera

There is no front camera in the device, and this is clearly a minus. Of course, in 2014 they did not allow to make high-quality images, and for the most part had very weak resolution, but the fact of its presence became a necessity already then. This device refused this. The main matrix has a resolution of 5 megapixels, there is autofocus, but there is no flash. There is no special sense in presenting some features of the camera, since it removes it slightly better than bad, and in fact it’s budget solution for those who turn on the camera once a week or by accident. Also in the device cut down the quality of shooting video. In 625 (almost similar and older model), the video could be shot in FHD, and this unit has only HD.

Conclusion

Lumia 630 is actually not a very cheap phone, which in its parameters should cost much less. The phone is suitable only for calls, and it is not recommended to do anything more interesting with it. At least, reviews about the smartphone speak about it.

Important! Above were mentioned the moments where the brand hoped for gullibility and ignorance of mobile equipment by the consumer,and another such fact - the positioning of the device, as a model with a pre-installed new firmware Windows 8.1. It did not bring anything fundamentally new, and there is no particular difficulty in updating the usual Windows 8 to it.

Conclusion: device is not worth the money, and the company's attitude to the buyer fully explains its decline as a manufacturer of smartphones and the subsequent sale of the brand of a larger Microsoft.
